At approximately 10:05 AM today, the Junior-Senior High School initiated a brief lockout protocol. Out of an abundance of caution, and consistent with our safety protocols, the lockout was put into effect immediately once we were alerted to an incident at the Highland Town Hall. The lockout was lifted at approximately 10:35 AM once law enforcement confirmed the area was secure.

Operations continued as normal within the building with absolutely no interruption to the school day. Under a lockout, students and staff remain safely inside the building and no visitors are allowed entry. All exterior doors remained securely locked. At no point were students or staff in direct danger.

The safety and security of our students and staff remains our number one priority. We are incredibly proud of how quickly and professionally our students and staff responded to the protocol today. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation in keeping our school community safe.

We celebrated an incredible group of seniors who have officially committed to continuing their athletic careers at the collegiate level! Congratulations to Tabitha for swimming, Sydney for softball, Avery for soccer, and Koen & James for football! Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to your sports have made the entire Yellowjacket community proud. We cannot wait to see all that you accomplish at the next level. Best of luck with your future plans both on and off the field, and pool, and classroom! Once a Yellowjacket, always a Yellowjacket! 💛🖤
